PASADENA – Twelve Pasadena high school students received the El Centro de Accion Social Gloria Delaney Scholarship at an event held at the Western Justice Center this week.

Gloria Delaney was a president of the board at El Centro de Accion Social.

COPA (Community Organization for Progress and Advancement) and Delta Kappa Gama Society International also donated to the event.
